Grade: 6 Grade: 3
irregular

Phonological shift from 背負う (seou),[1][2][3][4][5] as the /se/ sound was formerly pronounced more like /ɕe/, as recorded in the Nippo Jisho of 1603. This Japanese-Portuguese dictionary transcribes all instances of せ (se) using the then-current Portuguese orthography of ⟨xe⟩, where the ⟨x⟩ spelling indicated [ʃ], similar to the initial consonant sound in English shed.

  • /ɕeou/ → /ɕjou/ → /ɕʲou/

This reading is first attested in a text from 1278.[1]
